When it comes to the hit TV show Friends, a lot of people often turn their attention to Jennifer Aniston’s style as Rachel Green on the show. (I don’t really blame them; she could really pull off a plaid miniskirt like no one else.) Me? I’m obsessed with Chandler Bing’s. Hear me out: the man (and, of course, the show’s costume designer) perfected the art of ’90s style, and I think it’s about damn time we start paying more attention to it.
On the show, Matthew Perry‘s character not only won my heart over with his quirky dad jokes but his quirky dad style, too. It’s the perfect mix of low-key cool. Think Hypebeast before Hypebeast was a thing. His affinity for baggy sweats, crewneck sweaters, and backward baseball hats ticks every box of pure ’90s perfection. Chandler surprisingly even had an amazing collection of Nike sneakers. If you’re in need of some proof, I’ve got you covered. Ahead, take a look at 14 reasons I believe Chandler Bing undeniably had the best style on Friends.
